SCC is the coordinating state agency for the 45 conservation districts (CDs) in Washington State. We work to conserve natural resources on all of our lands.
Our conservation programs empower people to voluntarily take actions that keep natural resources and farmland healthy for all.
Conservation Districts are trusted, community-based hubs of expertise and funding that work with people to achieve natural resource and land use goals.

All across Washington people are coming together to restore our rivers and streams. We’re planting trees and shrubs to cool and purify water, creating healthier habitats for salmon and wildlife. From streams to rivers to the ocean, every action strengthens our interconnected waterways—supporting vibrant habitats, productive farmland, and clean water for all.
